I just noticed I hit the 4-digit mark for number of posts. Holy Pike-Slime, Batman!

I wanted to take a minute and ask everyone to do something. Take your hand off your mouse, reach over your shoulder and pat yourselves on the back! Nice job, ya'll.

This is hands down the best fishing site on the web. Thanks a million to all the great sponsors, participants (Family & Staff), and brainstormers who make this site possible. If you could get 275,000 people onto the porch at your local bait shop to swap tips, sell tackle, trade spots, banter, vent and argue - it would be a lot like this place - except here we never have to smell each other grin.gif

Oh yeah, and thanks to that Paquin guy - I think he had something to do with it....

Peace -

Congrats on the 1000th post and you are right about this being the best fishing web site. I find myself spending almost too much time reading this stuff...boss is looking, look like you are typing something from your desk, shuffle some papers and make it look like you found the info...anyway time to get back at it for real.

Hey.....does that four digit number include posts from your previous life, too? You've been around longer than 7 months, haven't you?

Doesn't really matter.....you've acted like a three to four digit member from the very beginning.

Congrats Aquaman01 and everyone else. I'm glad to be a part of Fishing Minnesota. Fishing is a great sport and I hope to have good fishing for all the years to come. Keep up the good work everyone.

Good Fishin,
Matt

Huskminn-
No, that doesn't include the RobertC handle. That change was an ill-executed effort brought about by a misunderstanding regarding the site that carries my e-mail account. I think I'll stick with Aquaman now, though.
Summerzoff-
Thanks - maybe someday I'll figure out how to make scales out of commas.
Kevin -
Actually, I did list this site under "Community Activities" on the resume. The HR guy fishes. He's the one who told me about Snuffy's Landing - he throws for smallies on his lunch hours sometimes! I won't have time for computer play at this new gig, though. Sales is sales and Time=Money.

I am in Indiana, with a house in Hackensack. This website is the best. Congrats on the participation! I read the site everyday. I appreciate all the help.

Thanks

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!
    • PSU
      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
